The Santa Fe Boxcar

Have you ever slept in a boxcar? now's your chance! A Santa Fe Traincar, built in 1941, recently (2020) converted into a unique, comfortable and modern guesthouse ready for you to experience! located just 5 minutes south of the quaint little town of Yoder, 10 minutes from South Hutchinson, and only 30 minutes from Wichita!
The space
This boxcar has the Original Wood lining the inside of the walls, with a loft and a bed built in one end and a bathroom in the other end. We believe this boxcar was originally built in 1941 and had been used on the ATSF Railroad.
Guest access
You will have the entire boxcar to yourself with a table and chairs in the backyard for you to enjoy as well as a privacy fence. There is also a fire-pit, a charcoal grill , tetherball, and corn hole game..feel free to sit outside and watch our Awesome Kansas Sunsets and Sunrises!! (Please bring your own fire wood and charcoal)
There is no oven available but there is a toaster oven, a hot plate and a microwave for you to use.
Other things to note
The boxcar is located on the edge of our farm and you will be able to see our houses from the boxcar but you have your own private yards and the boxcar is your private stay as well
Please note! This boxcar is only set up for 5 guests. If there happens to be more than 5 guests-we will need to be notified. This also means no parties allowed at the boxcar and no extra guests allowed without our permission
